Mother India (1957)
A 1957 Hindi epic melodrama film, directed by Meh**** Khan, Mother India is one film that comes to every mind when thought of top women-oriented films of all time. The film represented India after Independence, being the avant-garde in introducing the woman to her inner strength.

Aandhi (1957)
Loosely based on the life of the first female Prime Minister of India, Indira, this is an all-time classic. Suchitra Sen's portrayal of a politician stands unbeaten so far. It's interesting to see how her personality changes with circumstances in the film.

The film was banned by the ruling government at that time, but later premiered on television. Yet it enjoyed immense popularity and is considered one of the best films Bollywood has ever made about a woman's choices.
